Baby Eczema Legs
How do you get rid of redness from eczema?
I have eczema all over my legs. I was having problems with it being very dry, but I started using baby oil gel after each shower and that got rid of the dryness, but it hasn't done anything for the redness. Thats the only problem I have with it now. Have any suggestions, other than going to the doctor, to get rid of it?? Thanks!
I believe there are over the counter skin cremes with low concentrations of 'steroids' that can help. Stop at a pharmacy and ask to speak with the pharmecist about what they carry
the low concentration steroid will work locally where you place the creme to reduce the redness and itching - and reduce the flare-up in general - but make sure there are no open regions/cuts/deep scratches, if so you may wan to apply a bit of neosporin first to reduce the risk of infection
hope you feel better
Eczema In Young Children - Find Out The Root Cause
Eczema in young children is a common phenomenon that affects young children all over the world. It is believed to be caused by allergic reactions to dust, food and other environmental factors. The condition appears as a rash in the face, elbows, behind the knees and some times in the nape or neck.
The appearance of eczema may differ from one person to another but it still has general symptoms associated with the condition. It is often characterized by red and itchy patches in the skin. Eczema in young children typically can be observed at the cheeks, forehead, forearms, neck, scalps and legs. This medical condition is usually common among infants. Although the medical cause of this condition is still unknown, it has been linked to heredity and genetics, meaning it can be passed among people with known history of eczema in children. As surveyed on most cases there is a high probability that a child will develop eczema if he or she has a sibling who previously acquired the diseases.
Generally, eczema in young children can be avoided by maintaining the skin moist and avoiding harsh temperature to avoid dryness, avoiding chemicals and soaps with harsh ingredients and avoiding rough cloths like towels and sponges.
If you notice or suspect eczema in children, it is recommended for you to consult a dermatologist to assess and to confirm a possible diagnosis. Certain food products like fish, nuts, soya, wheat, salt and eggs have been found by researches conducted that food with these ingredients cause eczema.
As the single most common advice given among eczema in young children, it is advised that the patient should avoid scratching the blisters to prevent bleeding and complication. Scratching as theorized can spread the infection to nearby parts of the extremities.
Eczema in young children can be managed in a variety of ways but before going the distance, it is wise to consult a dermatologist for professional help and treatment.
